SUMMARY:LATE NIGHT GROOVE SERIES: LEE HOGANS featuring PURSUANCE
DESCRIPTION: FEATURING: Lee Hogans\, trumpet Other musicians\, TBA  Tr
	umpeter and composer\, W. Lee Hogans finds truth in the words of the c
	harismatic Louis Armstrong\, "What we play is life!" Maintaining an ag
	gressive path of professional achievement in his own right\, Lee's jou
	rney as a musician has been guided far beyond his native of Atlanta\, 
	where he began studying music at the age of ten. Now\, several years l
	ater\, Lee's diligence has paid off as he continues to fashion a style
	 of music distinctly his own. Quickly gaining notoriety by working wit
	h giants in the entertainment industry\, Lee's experience covers the g
	amut. He is a band member of legendary pop icon\, Prince and played wi
	th him at the 2008 Academy Awards/Oscars Party. They've also played to
	gether at the club 02 in London following a performance with him durin
	g the 2007 Super Bowl week in Miami and a stint at Club 3121 in Las Ve
	gas. Lee also jumped at the opportunity to tour with media mogul Sean 
	"Diddy" Combs' on the Press Play world tour\, where the band made nume
	rous guest television appearances. Lee has also found distinct pleasur
	e in playing with Hidden Beach Recording Artist\, Mike Phillips\, perf
	orming at annual events including the Tom Joyner Cruise\, Essence Fest
	ival and the BET Jazz Festival. When not playing with such notables\, 
	Lee is persistently cultivating his sound and skill as a trumpeter and
	 composer leading his own band\, Pursuance (with bandmates Jesse Fisch
	er\, Seth Johnson\, Josh David and Jerome Jennings). Encompassing the 
	worlds of Jazz\, Hip-Hop\, and Soul\, Lee's stylistic influences range
	 from Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard to James Brown and Run DMC. Havin
	g completed his debut album with Pursuance\, The Vibe Orientation (whi
	ch has received airplay on The Weather Channel and XM Radio)\, Lee's f
	ocus as a composer centers on strong catchy grooves with beautiful hyp
	notic melodies. His brilliant tone\, excellent articulation\, and dyna
	mic lyricism provide much range to artistically stretch out while Purs
	uance dazzles audiences at a number of destination venues throughout N
	ew York and New Jersey. Lee's sense of composition and delivery develo
	ped through years of musical study. Under the tutelage of renowned tru
	mpeter Danny Harper\, Lee received first-hand instruction on theory\, 
	improvisation\, composition\, and technical style\; a foundation which
	 further developed his skill and ability as a trumpeter. While studyin
	g with Mr. Harper\, Lee attended Georgia State University (GSU)\, wher
	e he gained knowledge of classical music under Mark Hughes\, principal
	 trumpeter of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Balancing his formal stu
	dy with essential on-stage experience\, Lee began playing at Atlanta's
	 premier jazz club\, Churchill Grounds until graduating from GSU with 
	Honors. In 2003\, Lee earned a Master's degree in Jazz Performance fro
	m Rutgers University under the guidance of renowned jazz educators Wil
	liam Fielder and Clark Terry. Since completing his formal education\, 
	Lee has continued to make influential moves in his career as a trumpet
	er-in-demand\, diligently making a name for himself in New York City. 
	When not touring with any number of prominent musicians and performanc
	e acts\, Lee is in the recording studio lacing tracks with his relevan
	t signature\, having recorded with Fantasia\, Missy Elliot\, Sheila E\
	, and on Prince's new album\, Planet Earth.
